Villa offers unique views of the lake and views of Chania mountains that can't be described by words! It is located in the most panoramic point of the region of Kournas, with many restaurants nearby with the famous Cretan cuisine.

Bluefairy is a two villa complex. These two unique villas are located in the most panoramic point of the region Kournas. They are built in a way that wherever you are you can enjoy the unique view of the lake and the White Mountains, also with a magnificent backdrop to the deep bay of Georgioupolis and the deep blue of the Cretan Sea. As they are situated in the heart of Apokoronas, just outside the traditional village Kournas, the villas are the ideal starting point for all kinds of tours around the area. Explore the lake and the Cretan nature, visit Crete’s north and south coast, admire the island’s tradition and culture and enjoy its hospitality.
As you walk in each one of the 120sqm villas, the living room along with a fully equipped kitchen and a dining table is situated there for you. Two Sofas that can turn into beds, a High Definition TV and a WC can be found also on the ground floor. Walking up the stairs and heading up to the second floor, 2 bedrooms with one double bed and one with two single beds can be found.
The ideal location in the hilly area of Apokoronas, but only 3 km from the beaches of Georgioupolis, amidst mountains, lakes and the sea, allows you for short walks and longer excursions to experience the Cretan nature and our people.
Apokoronas is one of the five former provinces of Chania prefecture and is situated at the northeast part of the prefecture. Kournas is one of the area’s traditional villages. The area of Apokoronas extends from the foothills of Lefka Ori north to the beach, with several gulfs, such the gulf of Almyros and Georgioupolis.
Kournas Lake, 3 km from Georgioupolis, is the southern lake of whole Europe. It is created thanks to the underground water coming down from Lefka Ori and is trapped by the impervious rocks within the natural basin.
Lake Kournas was known in antiquity as Lake Koressia. Its current name comes from the Arabic language and means bathtub and lake. The lake’s dark waters impress not only the visitors but also the natives, thus there is the belief that it is bottomless. The lake has some more legends and of course its own water nymph who appears on moonlit nights, combing her hair.
The villas lie above Lake Kournas on the north end of Chania prefecture, almost in the middle between Chania (40 km to the east) and Rethymno (30 km to the west). From Kournas you can easily get to the highway (1000 m) and visit Chania, the Omalos plateau, the Samaria Gorge (79 km), Fragokastelo and other places in Chania prefecture, or drive west and visit Rethymno with the impressive castle or Heraklion and Knossos (105 km), an important town in the antiquity.
There are daily departures from Piraeus to the port of Souda, only 45 km form the lake. You could also travel by aeroplane to Chania or Heraklion from Athens or most European cities.

Kournas Lake is the only freshwater lake in Crete. Lake Kournas was known as Lake Koressia in antiquity but later took its current name from the Arabic word for lake.
The lake is in a beautiful landscape, lying in a valley among the hills, about 4 km from Georgioupolis in Chania Prefecture (west Crete). You can enjoy walking to the tavernas and coffee bars next to the lake in your relaxing time.

We had a wonderful 8 night stay at Bluefairy villa.The setting is absolutely magical -very well located for exploring western Crete. It's a very quiet neighbourhood but walking distance from restaurants and the lake. The actual accommodation was very good. The villa was clean, well equipped (but no microwave) and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

An excellent place you should absolutely try!!!! We had a wonderful time in the Dafne villa. The villa's owners and their daughter were very wormeful and welcoming and she speaks very well English. At our arrival, the family was waiting for us to welcome us and explain everything about the villa, which was very beautiful, clean and new and had all the comfort to feel at home. The landscape from the villa is incredible. We also advise the restaurant "Georgia's taverna", where you can eat local food with products coming directly from the owners' garden and ferma. We also thank Manos for his availability and for answering our questions very quickly. We will come back !!!

We had a wonderful time at your place, thank you so much for your time, your concern and your care ! We were not expecting such a top level service on Airbnb (first timers...). Your house is great, nicely decorated and really confortable. We also enjoyed Crete as a destination and traveled to the south several times as well as to the north-west.

Martina is a fantastic hostess. She made us feel at home from the moment when we first arrived until we left one week later. If we needed anything, we just texted her and she helped us immidiately. The villa is beautiful and the garden is very cozy. The barbeque is awesome, and we cooked meat from the local butcher on it almost every day. This was my seventh time in Greece, so I thought I knew what to expect - but I didn't... This villa, with the location and the surroundings is the most perfect way for a tourist to feel the "real" cretian culture. Lambs were being herded down the street, the olive fields were everywhere, and we were pretty much the only tourists around. We had no car, so we walked practically everywhere, which was tiring but amazing. As someone mentioned in their review, a car WILL make your life easier but is not necessary if you like walking ;) Thank you SO much, Martina, for this awesome experience. We will be back. Hugs!

Newlly built and fully equiped house in our Olive tree Farm by the big sandy beach of Episkopi Rethymno. Spend your best vacation in an olive grove where you can enjoy nature, farm fresh eggs and vegetables,and free olive oil for your meals. Read our reviews to get an idea of how beautifully time runs in the Olive Tree Farm.

Episkopi (GR: Επισκοπή )is a small town of the prefecture and county of Rethimno. It is located at the old national road of Rethimno - Hania, 22.5 km away from the city of Rethimno.
The town is built at 120 m a.s.l. overlooking the northern coast of Crete, and the green and fertile valley of Mousselas river.
Until 2010 it was the seat of the municipality of Lappeon and since january 2011 it belongs to the Municipality of Rethymnon.
Episkopi is the administrative and commercial center of the area, providing quite a few facilities.
The main occupation of its 900 inhabitants is agriculture, producing mainly olive oil.
The name Episcopi means bishopric, and is common to many villages in Crete, that used to house in the past the bishop's offices.
The religious past of the area is obvious now to the visitor, as there are everywhere churches, some of them with remarkable frescoes.
The village of Episkopi is fairly old, and is mentioned at the archives having 446 inhabitants before 1583.

Our stay at the Olive Tree Farm was amazing! Eleni and her family were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. We were traveling with our 18 month old daughter and the farm was the perfect place for our family. The pictures and description are spot on and the apartment was the perfect size for us. If you are traveling with a larger family there is another apartment that can be rented or a beautiful 4 bedroom house above the apartments. Even though the buildings are connected you have a lot of privacy. Each apartment has it's own patio space with a traditional BBQ. It was great to get fresh eggs from the chickens each morning and to sample the family olive oil. Our stay on Crete is the most memorable experience of our entire 3 weeks in Greece because of how special Eleni made it. She not only made us feel at home, but invited us into her family Easter celebration and excursions while we were there. We loved hanging out with her and Odisseas in the evenings and look forward to future visits with them! Thank you Eleni for such a lovely experience while on Crete!

Rebekah 2016-05-05T00:00:00Z

Lovely setting, in an olive grove between the mountains and the sea. Our trip was out of season, so the area was very quiet. Hania and the local village Episkopi are close by, though a car is needed to get around. Eleni met us when we arrived and made us feel very welcome; there was some lovely olive oil from the farm waiting for us.

Edward2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We (family with two little kids) stayed at one of the very new houses on the olive tree farm. It was such a great stay we enjoyed it very much. The house is very well and thoughtful furnished, stylish and ideal for families with children. The kitchen is pretty good equipped we cooked a couple times. It is a quiet neighborhood and you even can hear the ocean at night:) We are from the city and it is very precious just to open the doors and the kids can play without being scared that there are cars. Our kids played with Eleni's kids and played with their toys. We definitely would come back. Thank you very much Eleni!
